The Tamesis
The renewed spirit of spring manifests itself in many ways. The return of color and casual, statement pieces mimic a sense of excitement in our wardrobes. We all know that dressing up for the season comes with its own challenges – unwelcome showers, brutal summer heatwaves – which is why we ask Fashion Editors reveal how they navigate these tricky fashion moments while making the most of the season’s sartorial possibilities. (You’ll hear the team talking a lot about texture and layers!) Whether your tastes are minimalist or maximalist, there are plenty of ways to embrace spring’s optimistic energy, which our editors break down below.
Fashion Editor’s Spring Favorites:
For some, recent fashion shows offer subtle yet impactful styling cues. “I’ve always been fascinated by half-fold collars,” notes fashion writer Christian Allaire, referring to the kind of unembellished detail that can transform a look from sophisticated to statement-making. Elsewhere, fashion editor Ciarra Lorren Zatorski relied on the power of accessories to elevate her spring looks, finding fresh inspiration from a variety of pendants from Bottega Veneta, Khaite and Tory Burch.
Of course, spring is the perfect opportunity to mix and match seasonal pieces: an autumn trench coat with a summer raffia bag, or a lace-trimmed dress with a winter leather jacket. There are no rules, only choices. Our editors show you how, explaining their spring styling tips below.

“Every spring, I resist the urge to go straight into revealing clothing, instead tending to wear thin layered knits that I can adjust as the weather warms up. I especially love layering a thin knit from Zara with a sophisticated skirt from Toteme. It’s a simple formula that feels thoughtful but still effortless—perfect for the unpredictable spring weather.”
